Following Nicolás Maduro's arrest by U.S. forces on drug trafficking charges, Venezuela has ordered a nationwide manhunt for individuals who supported the military operation that led to his capture. A state of emergency decree, issued Saturday and published Monday, directs police to immediately search for and arrest anyone involved in promoting or supporting the "armed attack by the United States." The decree did not specify the charges those arrested would face. Maduro made his first court appearance in New York on Monday after his arrest over the weekend. The situation follows a period of political crisis in Venezuela.
